Despite the frightening, almost Terminator-esque, way the phrase “there are robots everywhere” might sound, the increased use of robotics has been a boon to both consumers and enterprises worldwide. The industrial robot market has seen steady growth across the globe and is expected to continue growing as automation becomes ever more vital to businesses. This stems largely from mechanical automation, reducing production costs and improving efficiency. This increased demand due to greater automation, especially in the United States and Europe, is likely to mean that the price increase per robot unit will remain modest.
